Looking For....

I am looking for the correct engine dip stick tube, and the generator brackets. Yes, this Mark II does have AC
Thank you.

I believe I have a dipstick, but it needs rechromed. I'll look for it of you are interested. Regarding generator brackets. A/C or non-A/C car?

[cody_schoon]

Yes the car does have AC, and I need the tube the dip stick goes in, I thought they were painted engine color

Either Engine Color or Black are correct for the dip stick tube.

Either Engine Color or Black are correct for the dip stick tube.

I have a refinement to my answer above. The dipstick tube for non-air conditioned cars were engine color. The air-conditioned cars had black dipstick tubes.

The reason is that the Mark II engines were all made the same way and painted engine color. Most things added onto the engine after that were painted black. Those things included the generator, power steering pump, starter, fan assembly (excluding the spacer), vibration damper, and the air conditioner compressor plus the brackets associated with those items.

Cars with A/C used a different dipstick and tube than those without A/C. When the A/C unit was to be installed, the engine colored dipstick tube and the dispstick were removed and replaced with the A/C dipstick and the black painted dipstick tube.

Both dipsticks had chrome handles but the non-A/C dipsticks were stiff, while the A/C dipsticks were much more flexible.

I confirmed the above with Lowell Domholdt.
